Well done nonanna, enjoy putting your feet up and reading away the for the rest of the summer. Maybe some of the winter too.

It's me! It's me! Thank you so much. Not a lot of washing or housework will get done now. Thank you Gransnet

sitting in the garden enjoying the fragranced air with a bottle of wine (or a cocktail perhaps)

What is not to like - the sun streaming through the window early morning - washing hanging on the line - the garden flourishing with colour -albeit yellow grass !!! And the best yet a long cool G & T with a long hot book!!!! Bliss !!

I love the longer days. It means you can do soo much more and spend more time outside.

My favourite thing is the light evenings, especially if they are warm enough to sit out for dinner.. lovely

What I like about summer is picnics in the park with the missus & my daughter. Ice-creams, lollipops & boating lakes.

Oh my favourite thing has to be the light sunny mornings when we can sit out enjoying our early coffee and admire the garden.

Ditto most of the previous comments, plus I'm going to lower the tone and add that some of my favourite things about summer are cheaper energy bills, less cars at commuter time because of school holidays, feeling virtuous because I do more gardening, less clothes to take off and put on when I go swimming and no school governor documents to read!!!

I love the warm weather. My 15 month old Grandson has the freedom to run around in the Park and really enjoy himself. I am also really looking forward to taking him to the seaside next week and letting him see the sea and sand for the very first time

the long light summer days, walks and picnics in the countryside, the fabulous birds that visit my birdtable and the burst of colour in my flower borders

I love the effect of summer sunshine on peoples' moods and attitudes - so refreshing x

Light mornings and evenings

Being able to enjoy my garden and growing some veg and flowers!

My most favourite thing about this summer in particular, is that 10 days ago I finally gave up the job that had become horrible - I am now looking forward to actually noticing that summer is here, the seasons hardly registered with me before when stuck in a miserable office. To win these books would be my idea of heaven and I'd actually have time to read them. WooHoo!!!

My favourite thing about summer is the sunshine. It always makes everyone happier and friendlier and we can spend more time outdoor. :-)

With the lighter evenings there seems to be more hours in the day. So more time to socialise and catch up with family and friends. And plans are not normally rained off, although with the British weather you can't guarantee it. X

well what a wonderful selection of books now this would keep me busy all summer long. My favourite thing about summer has to be family picnics there is no better feeling than being in the warmth of the sunshine & the sound of the children playing happily ....Bliss thank you for the chance to win x

Wow - what a large selection of books - will certainly keep someone busy for a while.

I love the longer days, as for some reason, they seem to make the season feel like it is the longest.

My best thing is people smile a little more and become a little less rude - working in a shop this leads to many more pleasant days.

My favourite thing about summer is watching my grandchildren playing happily in the garden. It's great to see kids outside in the fresh air instead of sitting in front of the tv.

Fresh raspberries and sitting in the garden with a good book, and having my Granddaughters to myself for a whole week.
